Haughty Boys of Ngoroke — Imali J. Abala

Haughty Boys of Ngoroke

Ayoyi's afterschool argument with his step-mother sets off an unpredictable series of intriguing misadventures. The subsequent meandering journey is one of choices between what is morally right and the lure of the 'attractive." Always a balancing act between what could be (success) and potential disaster, Ayoyi's life is a perpetual succession of dilemmas. The moral question of choices is central theme in this work.
